Adnexal Neoplasms

When these present as multiple benign hamartomas such as syringomas or cylindromas, lesions can be extremely numerous and may be confluent.

In these cases there is really no alternative to precise focussed/incisional or collimated (ablative) CO2 laser treatment Erbuim YAG or electrosurgery or radiosurgery can be used but bleeding is less easy to control.

Where lesions are more discrete surgery may be an option but continuous development/recurrence of these lesions precludes treatments that result in significant tissue loss.

It is also important to recognise syndromes (eg Birt-Hogg-Dubé which presents with multiple fibrofolliculomas) which may have medical screening implications and other syndromes associated with more common lesions such as neurofibromas and angiofibromas which can also be multisystem disorders.
